A half hour of games The first game was an "antelope race," followed by "leap frog, "grab the hat" and "bull in the ring." When the excitement which the games created had died down, Patrol Leader Wilfred Starr, as he is known to us, led us in some singing and cheering. We then listened to the announcements and a short talk by Mr. Tanis, who passed many of our members on their various second and firstclass tests. The plans were then made for our Thanksgiving Day hike. This hike is for the purpose of passing all outdoor tests. All boys are requested to meet in front of the church at 8:80 sharp on Thursday morning. Now came tape and we were dismissed for the week

Following the opening there was some fine drilling, the semaphore and morse teams also had practice. Bob Fippinger led the troop in semaphore signalling. After this practice, Mr. MacMillan gave an interesting talk on the subject of "making home base." In his talk Mr. MacMillan urged the scouts to try and make "home base" in every thing they attempted. Leo Krauthein received his tenderfoot pin at this meeting. After the talk there followed an interesting game period. Some new and exciting games were played and, needless to say, were enjoyed by all the Due to the fact that Thursday is n Day. the meeting this week will be held on Friday night instead of Thursday.

A discussion arose as to whether we should have a meeting next Thursday or Wednesday. By popular vote it was decided to have the meeting on Wednesday. Our scoutmaster, Phil Sidel, gave us a long talk on how to pass tests and merit badges. Tests were passed by Jake Orenstein and Nathaniel Elkind. The meeting was called to order and we were dismissed at 9:30 D. m. CHARLES EDELSTEIN. Scribe.
TROOP 85 Troop 35's meeting opened with the scout oath and laws. John Clark was acting as scoutmaster and from now on each patrol and each troop leader will have an opportunity to act as scoutmaster. The attendance was not as good but this was due to the mission. The boys who went to the mission showed up after it was over. At 7:45 o'clock the patrols went to their respective corners to practice first aid, signaling and knot tying. The boys who are on the knot tying team did fine and feel sure that they will make a good showing for themselves when the time comes. John Clark is the cause of this team, so let's give him a hand. He deserves After the patrol work a drill was held and the boys showed that they had been practising at home because they went through the different drills snappy, I'll say. The drill was followed by two games, Heads and Tails. and Snatch the Flag. The game of Snatch the Flag was a tie between the Flying Eagles and the Beavers. A few songs were sung after the games and Oh, Boy! You ought to have heard the singing, Why, Shrimp Van Duome- you all know he almost fell off the chair singing. Pretty unusual, I'll tell you. At 9:15 o'clock we were dismissed after having sang Taps. Our basketball team under the able guidance of Shrimp, tasted victory over Troop 21, by a score of 35 to 27. This game was played last Wednesday and was a pretty tough game. Next Wednesday we play the Indians. They had better get motorcycles If they want to beat us. See you Tuesday. So long.
